Went her Sat evening before a show at the Murat Theatre. It's a half block walk. Time was short, it was a 40 minute wait for a 2 top. Luckily there were 2 open bar seats. We sat, ordered beverages and the burgers. We got in and out in 40 ish minutes. If I had more time, sitting on the patio would have been nice. I noticed a lot of carryout orders being picked up, so I knew it must be good. We are not local to Indy so finding a quick good meal was important. They had a decent local beer tap list, so I was happy to try a new to me brew. We got one Tillamook Cheddar Burger with fries, and a Patty melt with onion rings. It must have been one huge onion! Both burgers were cooked to our request, both sides were delicious. The service was efficient. I would come back if the opportunity arises.(The show at the Murat was also great).

Love love love the three garlic aioli burger it's so dang delicious! All the burgers come in patty style or smash style or you can make it healthier with a chicken substitute The French fries is great too. We have not had a bad experience, all the server are professional and nice Love that the location is on mass ave for shopping time, the actual location is not very big they do have a patio that open when the weather allows it I think they do accept reservations so I suggest doing that if you want a guaranteed seat

Bru burger with fries and double patty
Thanh V.

It's a nice spot on mass ave with a decent amount of tables and seating. It can get tight depending on how busy but they do a great job with accommodating parties of all sizes. We were seated right away and had excellent service. Our server was very friendly and attentive, especially when one item was not the correct order. We ordered the Mexicali and Bru Burger with onions and fries. It was all so delicious! We were very happy with what we ordered and the level of service we received. Thank you!!

The garlic three cheese burger is one of my favorites! It comes with actual cloves of garlic (a little too much for me) and then three different cheeses. Truffle aioli comes on it as well. Yum. And, I love the bar area at this location!

Pumpkin Cheesecake
Shannon N.

We've been frequenting Cunningham establishments for many years and we especially love the loyalty rewards! Today we celebrated my husband's birthday and received a complimentary dessert. He selected the seasonal delight which is their Pumpkin Cheesecake. We split a burger and really you can't go wrong there. They live up to their name as a burger specialty place and the food and service is consistently great. The food arrived at lightning speed even though its was peak lunchtime. Our server was attentive and friendly while still maintaining authenticity and didn't make us feel rushed or neglected. Will come back for my favorite go to at Bru--the Valencia salad. Also enjoyed a Texas Mule which wasn't too sweet and had just the right amount of punch to it. Thanks Again

I meant to take more pictures of our food but we were very hungry! As you can tell by the pictures, everything was delicious! This place is conveniently located close to a lot on Mass Ave if you are going to a show at the Basile Theater or the Murat! Our server was very friendly and came by frequently! BRU Birger has been a staple on Mass Ave for quite a few years now. Food is always consistently good and service has always been great.

I decided to stop by to eat before the Steve Martin and Martin Short show. I was by myself. They fit me in, after a short wait. After eating and paying for my meal I still had plenty of time to get to the venue and to my seat. I sat outside on the patio, which had heaters, but luckily it wasn't that cold out. It was very nice. I got the Burger Snack with Fries and a Pepsi Zero. Delicious and just the right amount. The staff were very friendly.

Veggie burger

Bru Burger is consistently a solid choice. They now have multiple locations. Cunningham restaurants almost always deliver, and this is no exception. I've been here several times and always enjoy the experience. The Sriracha Caesar salad is one of my top recommendations. It's unique, flavorful, and worth trying. I do miss the mango chutney they used to serve on the veggie burger, but overall the menu still holds plenty of great options. Service is usually attentive, and drinks come out quickly, which makes for an easy dining experience. The downtown Indianapolis location also has an amazing patio that's perfect for enjoying a meal. Another great product from Cunningham Restaurant Group!

Service was good, and the food was also pretty good. They let you switch out the burger for an impossible burger at no extra charge. The menu says that, but the receipt still had extra charge. So that's a bit weird. The bread bun is a bit stale. The fries are delicious and well seasoned. Would go back.

This was half of the sandwich!

I ordered the patty melt through DoorDash and what I received was terrible. Bread was hard, not toasted. The bread was also a wide slice with one patty placed in the middle, leaving a great amount of bread on both sides. There was very little cheese or condiments, creating a dry sandwich. For the price this was disappointing. Fries were ok. I'm done with Bru burger!

Meenarin P.

Made an 11:00 AM reservation for 12 people. Our table was ready even before we arrived, despite them opening right at 11:00. The food is always consistently good, and our server was very nice. No fixed service charge for large parties -- such a pleasant surprise!

Bru Hot Chicken Sandwich Buttermilk Fried Chicken Tenders
Tonío M.

Went to Bru Burger for a date and overall it was a solid experience. The food was really good--definitely lived up to the hype. My date barely touched her food (not sure why ), but everything I had tasted great. The atmosphere was one of the best parts. It had a really nice vibe with a good balance of modern and natural elements, which made it a great spot to just sit and talk. Only downside is the parking situation--they really need their own dedicated parking because it can be a hassle. Other than that, I'd say it's a strong 4 stars and worth checking out.

Nashville chicken tenders
Trish L.

We had a nice happy hour late lunch/early dinner at Bru on a Monday afternoon around 3:30pm. The restaurant was busy, but we waited less than 15 minutes for a table outside. The patio is shaded, but open. The surrounding trees make for a relaxing outdoor dining experience. Our server was polite and friendly. We ordered a couple draft beers for $3 off at happy hour and the 1/2 price Nashville hot chicken tenders along with a Mexicali burger to share. The chicken tenders came out with a house made ranch that was fantastic. The chicken itself was perfectly breaded and fried, but not nearly as spicy as they looked. The burger was loaded with toppings and cooked as requested. I think it's definitely a steal of a deal place for happy hour!

10/2026 Came here…read morefor our wedding anniversary and it was really a no brainer of where we'd go. We LOVE Provision and came here our wedding night for an overnight and to order their MUST TRY ricotta donuts. We had a room here for the night once again. We arrived before our reservation to have a drink at the bar. We both don't drink so it was great to see a Mocktail menu. I ordered the mango colada. Good but I could've used more spice. But really no complaints. I ordered my husbands off the menu. Blueberry puree and ginger beer. He liked it. The woman serving our drinks was SO helpful in making his. Once we sat, we ordered the bread and I got the watermelon salad. Both were delicious choices. The pretzel bread and focaccia were our faves. I got the red snapper with coconut rice and man oh man, it was delicious. Not one thing I would add or take away. My husband got the sea bass. He LOVED it. For dessert we got the ricotta donuts and oooh baby, they are spectacular. Chrissy, our server was AMAZING. Attentive, friendly and has been a server there since they opened 9 years ago. So she knew her stuff! We will be back again and again, not just for the food, dessert but for the great service we always get.

The bartenders were friendly and attentive. I ordered my first cocktail and then decided to order an appetizer as I waited on my friend to join me. The bartender suggested the baked brie. Guess it was a special menu item. I love baked brie so I took him up on his suggestion. My pink cocktail was gorgeous. It came with an ice cube with the restaurants logo etched on it. I always think that is such a nice touch. The baked brie was delicious. The chef who I guess created the baked brie came out to say hi. I ending up ordering a second cocktail. It was their version of a margarita and was my favorite cocktail. It was so good. Even though we didn't have dinner, it was a great first time experience and looking forward to returning for a full dining experience.

This place has been on my list to try since they opened and I finally had the opportunity to stop…read morein for lunch. I honestly didn't know what to expect other than I knew it was healthy food options. Parking is tough. I had to park a bit away during lunch time because their little section is pretty small and it was packed, so I parked over by Whole Foods and walked over. Not a big deal just something to be aware of, and if you are lucky enough to find a spot near them, it's tight getting in and out so just a side note. Upon walking in it was a pretty long line but again it was lunch time (around noon), so no issues. You order at and then get a number and find a place to sit. They have options to sit inside and out. We decided to sit outside since it was a nice day. The food came pretty quickly which was nice since it was lunch time. I ordered a kale salad which was amazing. My lunch partner had a wrap and she said it was really good. You can tell they are using really top notch ingredients which is good. Pricing is pretty typical for these type of places.

I've ordered and sampled several different menu items. I really liked the green chili queso, the roasted broccoli, smashed potatoes, and the other roasted vegetables. On the last visit my friend ordered the salmon entrée. It was a very, very, small piece of salmon. I don't know if that is the usual size or not but definitely not what we expected for the price. The only thing I have tried here that I didn't care for was the Mother Earth Bowl. When I ordered it the employee mentioned that it was their most popular item, but I thought the greens were very bitter and the dressing didn't complement the vegetables. But apparently everyone else loves it. The parking lot was congested each time I have been here. Traffic flow is difficult so next time I will park farther away and walk rather than navigate the small lot in front of the restaurant.

I didn't know Indianapolis had such amazing restaurants and this one alone is making me want to…read morereturn soon. We came by on a Tuesday around 4ish but apparently they only serve a snack menu between 4-5. We waited until closer to 5 and came back, then were seated immediately. The service was great and I loved the ambiance. There was plenty of natural lighting and it just felt calm. To drink, I ordered the redrum cocktail and it was soo good, almost just tasted like apple cider. They change the menu everyday so you don't really know what there will be until you get there (but the menu online was kinda similar to what they had). To eat, we shared the grilled bread, red leaf salad, casarecce, patatas bravas, and beef tri-tip. This might have been too much for just the two of us lol, and we probably could have done without the potatoes because they were the most meh out of everything. I think I only ate one or two. The grilled bread came with the most delicious butters (I think one was chive and one was honey cinnamon) and some olive oil with garlic, soo good. The red leaf salad was amazing. I love that they clarify the apples are jonathan apples (my favorite variety)--it was definitely one of the most perfect fall salads and I would love to try recreating it myself. The casarecce came with a pesto sauce and it tasted so fresh. The beef tri-tip was good, but nothing spectacular. For dessert, we ordered the pumpkin ice cream and omg it was amazing--might have been one of the best pumpkin ice creams I've ever had. It tasted exactly like pumpkin pie filling. We also got the croissant pudding (like bread pudding but with croissants) and it was also so delicious. Definitely don't skip on desserts if you come here because they are worth it.

We were so glad to share the evening with Jess and Adam and the menu they picked was perfect. We will definitely be returning.

This was such a great restaurant to go to in Indy, especially as a first timer in the city. I sat…read moreat the bar with a colleague of mine where we chatted with some of the bartenders. The hospitality was great, and their drink and food recommendations were equally wonderful. One thing to note is the portions on the appetizers are fairly large, so keep that in mind when ordering. To start, we ordered the Korean Fried Mushrooms with baechu kimchi, gochujang honey, daikon radish, furikake, and scallions. These were great but unfortunately had to save room for the other items and could not finish. Then got the Center Cut Ribeye which came with cajun spiced spaetzle, summer squash, remoulade sauce, pink peppercorn ricotta, scallions, sweetie drops, and chimichurri. The steak was cooked to a rare/medium rare consistency that was delicious and we loved the tiny peppers. We paired it with a nice red wine the bartender recommended and it was a lovely experience. Lastly we ended the night with the strawberry dacquoise and espresso. The dessert came with strawberry mousse, pistachio cake, strawberry glaze, white chocolate bark with pistachio & pink peppercorn, and frosted mint. It was a refreshing summertime dessert perfect to end the day. I definitely recommend the steak dish and heard the airline chicken and Chilean sea bass were good too. Would love to come back and try a cocktail and a different dish while sitting on the patio! Second Time: Got the tamarind disco cocktail that comes with a lollipop - amazing, would order again!We tried the fried chicken and caviar, pork chop, and honey cake! All three were delicious - the fried chicken and mushrooms are tied for appetizers, bowers we still think the steak is better than the pork chop. The honey cake was amazing and it paired perfectly with the decalf espresso martini (or a black coffee perhaps). Looking forward to round 3 during my next work trip!

Been a minute for us to visit. Service was great and ambience nice. Biggest problem was they were…read moresold out of 2 entrees by 7pm. 2 of the 9 on the menu and 2 were what we wanted to order. Just beware get there early if you want the good stuff. Getting to the food we did order, mind you the chef was not in the house on a Monday, which is fine and modus operandi for chef driven concepts. I know this and I am fine if everything is executed per chef expectation. So either it was a tough night in the kitchen or the food concept is off, maybe a lil of both. Soup of the day Carrot was spot on, spicy, savory. Needed a lil salt but very nice. Roasted Carrot - curveball when I see roasted i think warm. Nope- cold appetizer. Which would've been fine that was mentioned. Problem also was I wouldn't say they were roasted really because they did not seem to have the roasted look, morenlike a few light grill marks and they had a snap/crunch like a raw carrot. A roasted carrot is sweet and unctuous. The concept of the dish was good but execution not. Unless you just want to say carrots w harrisa. Entrees we could order we will start w scallop risotto . Risotto was under by a stretch. I have risotto far and wide and I know its supposed to be al dente but this was quite under. Scallops cooked nicely but salty Pork chop - chef recommendations on temp is mediumish, I concur 145 to maybe 150. Pork chop i received was more like the old days of 165 even by the bone not a sheckle of juice. My mother would have been proud (iykyk, cause when I grew up nothing had juice. It could kill ya). Flavor was decent. Accoutrements were forgettable. Overall the I know why I haven't been lately. Tinker is okay but should be better if you want $50 per entree. I know this is not finest dining in the city, it's not meant to compete with the Vidas, or 32 down town steakhouse, but at least make the food memorable. It wasn't.

ONE OF MY NEW FAVORITES FOR AMERICAN FOOD NEAR MASS AVE…read more Union 50 came in clutch when my friends and I were looking for a last minute dinner reservation. Called at 6 and got a reservation for 8, for 5 of us on a Saturday night. This is kind of an anomaly for any restaurants off Mass Ave. We were seated right away and started with drinks and apps. We got "Disco Boys" and "I'm too pretty for this" cocktails which were tasty - kudos for the fun cocktail names. Calamari, Artisan, and Charcuterie came shortly after. There's a few different options of cheeses and meats, it's sort of a choose your own adventure situation. All were good, especially the calamari. A lot of restaurants tend to overcook it and the calamari gets rubbery, not the case here. Our entrees came out next and I made sure to try a bite of everyone's LOL. The standout of all the entrees was definitely the "Duck, duck" which was, obviously, duck. The runner up would definitely have to be the chicken cacciatore. Overall, really great ambiance, food, and service. I would highly recommend Union 50 if you're looking for something fancy, but not too fancy. If you're a Cunningham member, don't forget to give your phone # to the server to look up your account. Will definitely be back soon!
